Hi all, i've got a perfect working hack running 10.8.5 on a Z77X-UD5H mobo. What would you suggest is the best way to install Mavericks? I guess I don't really need Mavericks but just wanted to give it a try :)

I've tried installing 10.9.5 via the Unibeast method using the newest Multibeast, the install went ok but Multibeast wouldn't install any kexts, it just fails every time.

Am I trying too big a leap from 10.8.5 to 10.9.5?

All opinions welcome!

Suggest a separate SSD/HDD to install and test Mavericks. Create UniBeast USB with present 10.8.5 system, shutdown, swap drives and boot UniBeast to install. Once installed, run MB and select DSDT Free and the audio and NIC kexts for your board and install.
 
Thanks for the advice :thumbup:

I guess there's no easier option then? I remember the transition from Lion to ML was pretty straightforward, I was hoping ML to Mav would be the same, although i've been out of the loop for a while due to my system running perfectly.

Maybe I should just leave it running ML for now :D

:thumbup: "If it ain't broke, why fix it?"

Advice I got a long time ago and have found good:

Never, never, never experiment with your working system. Want to try something new? Fine. Get another HDD.

Which is why I have a drawer full of drives now.
